5.7 Stepmum

Daphne
watched as David got dressed, “Why don’t you come back to bed?”

David turned
and held her, “Darling, I wish I could but we both know this potion will wear
off and I will be a ghost again.”

“I will find
a way to make it permanent for us, for you.”

David lifted her chin and asked,
“Have you told the boys yet?” Daphne looked ashamed, “It’s really hard.” David
started to yell at Daphne.

Estevan
and Blair walked into the house to wait for the girls as they were out shopping
for maternity wear. They heard yelling coming from upstairs and went to
investigate.

“I can’t believe
this…”

“Hun, I’m
sorry but I tried telling Estevan but…”

“No more
lies. We need to tell them or I’ll refuse the potion and I won’t see you.”
Daphne panicked, “They won’t like it…”

David firmly
said, “I don’t really care if they like it. They need to know and remember
Daphne you were the one that wanted to tell them rather than let me.”

David was
so angry he turned to walk out but found his sons staring at him. Daphne was
horrified as they all stared at one another. Estevan in a sarcastic tone asked
Blair while staring at his parents, “I could have sworn our father was a
ghost.”

“Do you know
what, so did I. So how is it a man that looks like our Dad is standing in front
of us?”

David just
looked at them and said, “I have a confession to make.”

Estevan sat on the bed
and replied, “This better be good,” taking a quick glare at his mother knowing
that she had a hand in whatever this was. Blair blocked the doorway and waited
to hear his Dad’s confession. “When I came to see you a few months before I
died so you could check on Blair…” Estevan interrupted him, “Get to the point,
Dad. How are you human?”

Daphne
butted in, “Since he killed Adam after taking that human potion. I found more
of them that Blake has in his safe. So I broke in and took a few…” Blair
finished the sentence for Daphne with a harsh tone, “And let me guess you have
been taking it,” looking at his Dad then continued, “Meeting up and…I can’t
believe I’m going to say this…and have sex, am I right?”

“Yes and
no.”

Estevan
looked puzzled, “There is no, yes and no. So which is it?” David felt backed
against a wall and just blurted it out, “A few months before I died I married
Daphne; I married your mother.”

Blair
yelled, “You did what?”

“You heard
me, boy. Daphne is your step-mother.”

Suddenly
David turned back into his ghost form and Blair demanded he drank another
potion because he wanted answers. David reluctantly drank the potion and turned
back into a human.

Blair was angry and yelled, “Do you love her? I mean what
about my mother, did you ever love her?”

“Blair, of
course I loved your mother but she suffered badly with postnatal depression but
we didn’t know what it was back then. When I first met her she was a wonderful,
kind person but after having you she went downhill…”

“So it’s my
fault?”

“No it isn’t
your fault. If I knew what was going on I’d have got her help.”

“Have you
seen her ghost?”

“No.”

“So is her
surname Merrick?” Daphne looked at Blair and replied calmly, “I kept my surname
because your mother had only died a month before we married.”

“Just stay
away from my family.”

Blair left the room angry and hurt but Estevan went after
him and shouted, “Does that included me?” Blair stopped and without turning
around said, “How can you be so calm after they kept this from us. I mean you
had the nice but absent father and nice mother, what did I get? A mother who
couldn’t stand me and a father who worked away so I thought.”

“We are the
better people here Blair, we are better parents than they ever were and we are
better than friends, we are brothers, does that mean anything to you?”

“It does now
but now your…she is my step-mother.”

“Welcome to
my hell but maybe there is an upside to this too.”

“Like…?”

“Harmony and
Draco get a grandmother. After all Teddy’s parents are dead and so is your
mother.”

Okay, so the big shock for the boys is that their dad married Daphne.I'm still getting over the fact that David can turn human. They accepted that automatically (at least, it felt like it to me). I guess weird things happen, but I'd have a bit of difficulty seeing my father come back to life after he'd been dead a long, long time.

David can turn human because of a potion that Blake made. This was how they got rid of Adam after he attacked Lexy. Blake made too much and Daphne being madly in love took the rest so they could be together from time to time. I guess being vampires noting seems strange lol but I agree with you if I saw a dead person come back to life I'd freak out too.

After Blake made a potion for David to turn human so once he was inside the jail he could kill Adam after he harmed Lexy. Daphne got more of them and they have been seeing each other. Daphne wants her husband back permanently, I can understand why but I really think she should move on but will she I don't know. Sorry for the shock.

Blair despite what he says loved both his parents and feels betrayed but what came from this was a new loving family. I think with Teddy Blair will let go soon.
